The disclosure relates to systems, compositions, and methods for treating keratinous substrates, such as skin, hair, and/or scalp. The compositions may be rinse-off compositions containing a conditioning system, such as a rinse-off conditioning shampoo or skin cleanser. The methods may comprise cleansing and/or conditioning the skin, hair, and/or scalp.
Individuals desire healthy skin and healthy, strong hair, as healthy-looking skin and hair is considered to be a sign of good health and good hygiene. Thus, cleansing the skin and hair is routine. However, traditional skin and hair cleansing compositions, while effective to cleanse the skin or hair, may deleteriously affect the appearance and/or condition of the skin or hair. For example, the skin may appear and feel dry, and hair gloss and moisture balance may be negatively affected making the hair more difficult to manage and style. Additionally, nutrition, environmental influences, and chemical treatments can lead to dry skin or hair damage that significantly weakens and dulls the hair over time. Furthermore, dry hair that has been weakened or damaged is also prone to breakage and the formation of “split ends.”
In order to address these concerns, conditioning ingredients may be added to a skin cleansing or shampoo composition. However, such agents may negatively affect the properties of the composition itself. For example, addition of oils or esters may have negative effects on the foaming properties of the composition or may negatively affect the viscosity of the composition. Therefore, it is necessary to find the correct combination and amounts of conditioning agents for use in a skin or hair cleansing composition in order to provide excellent composition properties such as good foaming, lather, and distribution, while also imparting sufficient conditioning properties such as moisturized skin and/or detangling, shine, and smoothness to the hair.
The present disclosure addresses these concerns and relates to systems, compositions, and methods for treating the skin, hair, and/or scalp, such as with a rinse-off cleansing composition comprising a conditioning system which surprisingly exhibits both beneficial conditioning properties and superb composition properties.
It has now been surprisingly and unexpectedly discovered that combining a particular anionic surfactant with a particular ester and a polysaccharide-based cationic compound provides an excellent conditioning system. The conditioning system may be included in a rinse-off skin or hair composition, such as, for example, a rinse-off skin cleanser or a shampoo composition.
According to various embodiments, the disclosure relates to rinse-off skin or hair compositions comprising (a) an anionic surfactant system comprising i) a first anionic surfactant chosen from isethionate surfactants, and ii) optionally, a second anionic surfactant; (b) coco-caprylate/caprate; (c) at least one cationic compound; (d) at least one additional surfactant chosen from non-ionic and amphoteric surfactants; and (e) water.

Conditioning Systems
Conventional rinse-off cleansing compositions contain silicones or cationic polymers as their primary conditioning system. However, the present disclosure relates to new and surprisingly synergistic components for conditioning systems for use in rinse-off compositions, wherein the conditioning systems comprise: (a) at least one first anionic surfactant chosen from isethionate surfactants; (b) coco-caprylate/caprate; and (c) at least one cationic compound. The conditioning systems may be skin or hair conditioning systems, which may be used in any conventional skin or hair treatment and/or care composition, e.g. any conventional skin cleansing or shampoo composition.
Anionic Surfactant
The conditioning systems comprise at least one first anionic surfactant chosen from isethionate surfactants. According to various embodiments, the at least one isethionate surfactant may be chosen from acyl isethionates of the following formulae (I) or (II):
##STR00001##
wherein R is chosen from H or an alkyl chain having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, such as 6 to 24 carbon atoms, for example 8 to 20 carbon atoms, said chain being saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched, and M+ is a cation. Although sodium is shown as the cation in formula (II), it should be understood that the cation for both formula (I) and formula (II) may be any alkali metal ion such as sodium or potassium, ammonium ions, or alkanolammonium ions such as monoethanolammonium or triethanolammonium ions.
By way of non-limiting example, suitable acyl isethionate surfactants may include the reaction product of fatty acids esterified with isethionic acid and neutralized with sodium hydroxide. For example, acyl isethionates surfactants may be prepared by the reaction of an isethionate salt such as metal or ammonium isethionate and an a saturated or unsaturated, straight or branched, alkyl or alkenyl chain fatty acid having from 6 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, more preferably from 6 to 18 carbon atoms.

Methods of Use
According to various embodiments, the rinse-off compositions may be useful in methods of treating and/or caring for the skin, hair, and/or scalp. By way of example, when the rinse-off compositions are shampoo compositions or conditioning shampoo compositions, the compositions may be useful in methods of cleansing and/or conditioning the hair and/or scalp. When the rinse-off compositions are skin care or skin cleansing compositions, the compositions may be useful in methods of cleansing and/or caring for the skin.
The compositions according to the disclosure may be applied to the skin, hair, and/or scalp and subsequently rinsed off. For example, the skin, hair, and/or scalp may be washed or cleansed in a first step of applying the composition of the disclosure onto the skin, hair, and/or scalp, with an optional leave-on time, followed by a second step of rinsing the hair with water, for example after an optional leave-on time, for example up to 10 minutes, up to 5 minutes, up to 2 minutes, up to 1 minute, up to 30 seconds, up to 20 seconds, up to 10 seconds, up to 5 seconds, etc.
The methods of treating and/or caring for the skin, hair, and/or scalp according to the disclosure may, in various embodiments, impart moisture benefits to the skin, or conditioning and manageability benefits to the hair, even after the composition is rinsed off. In addition, hair treated with the conditioning systems and/or rinse-off hair compositions according to the disclosure may, in certain exemplary embodiments, have greater ease of detangling, greater smoothness, discipline without a greasy coating or weighed-down feeling, moisturized feel, split-end seal, and/or reduced static, may be more sleek, and/or may have greater frizz control, relative to hair not having been treated with a composition according to the disclosure.
It should be understood that various features and/or characteristics of differing embodiments herein may be combined with one another. It is therefore to be understood that numerous modifications may be made to the illustrative embodiments and that other arrangements may be devised without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Other embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the disclosure and practice of the various exemplary embodiments disclosed herein.
The compositions described throughout this disclosure may be rinse-off compositions. A “rinse-off” (also called rinse-out) product refers to a composition that is applied to the skin, hair, and/or scalp and subsequently rinsed, optionally after a period of time, such as after about 5 seconds, after about 10 seconds, after about 20 seconds, after about 30 seconds, after about 1 minute, after about 5 minutes, after about 10 minutes, after about 20 minutes, after about 30 minutes, or after about an hour.
As used herein, the term “keratinous substrate” is intended to include skin and hair.
As used herein, the terms “comprising,” “having,” and “including” are used in their open, non-limiting sense.
The terms “a,” “an,” and “the” are understood to encompass the plural as well as the singular. Thus, the term “a surfactant” includes both a single surfactant and a plurality of surfactants.
The expression “one or more” means “at least one” and thus includes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.
Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditions are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term “about,” meaning within +/−5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1% of the indicated number. Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, examples include from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.
All percentages, parts and ratios herein are relative to the amount of active agent, based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present disclosure, unless otherwise indicated.
As used herein, all ranges provided are meant to include every specific range within, and combination of sub ranges between, the given ranges. Thus, a range from 1-5, includes specifically 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, as well as sub ranges such as 2-5, 3-5, 2-3, 2-4, 1-4, etc.
As used herein, the terms “free” and “substantially free” are intended to denote that the component is absent entirely from the composition, or is present in an amount considered by those skilled in the art to not provide an effect on the composition. For example, the component may be present in an amount below the level of detection, or may be present in an amount less than 3%, less than 2%, less than 1%, less than 0.5%, less than 0.1%, less than 0.01%, or less than 0.001%.
It should also be understood that the precise numerical values used in the specification and claims form additional embodiments of the disclosure, and are intended to include any ranges which may be narrowed to any two end points disclosed within the exemplary ranges and values provided, as well as the specific end points themselves. Efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the numerical values disclosed herein. Any measured numerical value, however, can inherently contain certain errors resulting from the standard deviation found in its respective measuring technique.
The compositions and methods of the present disclosure can comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the disclosure described herein, as well as any additional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations described herein or otherwise useful.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, it is in no way intended that any method set forth herein be construed as requiring that its steps be performed in a specific order. Accordingly, where a method claim does not expressly recite that a particular order of steps must be followed or it is not otherwise specifically stated in the claims or descriptions that the steps are to be limited to a specific order, it is no way intended that any particular order be inferred.
All patents and publications are expressly incorporated herein in their entireties.
The following examples serve to illustrate the embodiments of the disclosure without however exhibiting a limiting character. The Examples are intended to be non-restrictive and explanatory only, with the scope of the invention being defined by the claims. In these examples the amounts of the composition ingredients are given as weight percentages of active ingredients relative to the total weight of the composition.
Two separate rinse-off shampoo compositions according to the disclosure were prepared by mixing the following ingredients in Table 1, as follows. First, the sodium cocoyl isethionate, water, polyquarternium compounds, PEG-150 distearate, and carbomer were mixed and heated to about 70° C. As the mixture was cooling to room temperature, the remaining components were added and the composition was mixed until uniform.

The cosmetic properties of compositions 1A and 1B, which comprise the conditioning system described herein, were evaluated. The compositions were found to have dense, lush, creamy foam, with a viscosity that would be typical of a shampoo composition. This was surprising because generally the inclusion of esters would be expected to negatively affect these cosmetic properties of the shampoo composition. Thus, the components of the conditioning system synergistically worked together in order to avoid such a negative effect on the composition properties.
Compositions 1A and 1B were then applied to wet hair, lathered, and the hair was rinsed, combed, dried, and styled. The compositions lathered very well and coated the hair nicely. The compositions rinsed easily from the hair. After rinsing, the ease of detangling the wet hair was superior.
After the hair was dried and styled, the hair had excellent properties of shine and frizz control, felt moisturized but not greasy, had good manageability, shaping, and discipline (e.g. no “fly-aways”), and had smooth ends.
The above example demonstrates that the synergistic combination of isethionate surfactant, coco-caprylate/caprate, and polysaccharide-based cationic compound provide unexpectedly superior cosmetic properties to the rinse-off composition, as well as unexpectedly superior cleansing and conditioning properties which leave the hair in surprisingly excellent condition.
